Features | 5 Books That Surprised Me
Today I wanted to share five titles that all fall under the category of 'books that surprised me'... in a good way! Each of the five titles below are books that I wasn't sure would be my kind of thing or didn't know much about going into, but ended up enjoying much more than I had expected to. I've included a brief synopsis of each book along with the star ratings I gave them at the time - hopefully you'll find something new here to add to your TBR!
